Triv: "I guess we won't be going back to Florida this winter!"

Janie: "Now maybe we'll have the money to address some necessary maintenance projects around this place!"

Triv: "Fixing stuff -- that's pretty much all you think about, isn't it?"

Janie: "Well... fixing stuff is kinda fun, you gotta admit; especially when we're not scraping and scrounging up nickels and dimes from under the sofa cushions to pay for supplies. And that Florida place was gonna need a lot of nickels and dimes!"

Triv: "But it doesn't snow there."

Janie: "Yeahhhh... yeah, there's that."

Yuck!  The image quality of these pics is abysmal! I was using my FujiFilm S1 Bridge Camera, which I have not used in a long time. I know that for the indoor pix I inadvertently had the aperture set too small (f/11), resulting in camera shake blur. The outdoor pic was under bright sunny conditions, so the eggsposure should have been good and the image should have been crisp and sharp.

I need to take my three cameras - Panasonic point-n-shoot, FujiFilm S1, and Canon EOS 80D - and run them through a side-by-side test to see what's going on. Are the poor quality images I've been getting lately entirely the result of operator error? Or are the older cameras (the Panasonic and the Fuji) starting to show their age?

I did some online reading a few days ago about sensor decay. Do image sensors break down over time. The general consensus among camera snobs is "probably not usually, but maybe." However, other electronic components in the imaging system can deteriorate over time.

Anyway, I don't know if the problem is that my cameras are getting old, or that I'm getting old.

Oh, I also have a Canon PowerShot D20 point-n-shoot I should include in the image quality test... if I ever get around to doing an image quality test.

I wonder if the problem could be with the SD cards?
